I'm a volunteer admin or co-admin for several of the FTDNA mtDNA haplogroup U projects. The projects are currently only open to people who tested or transferred results to FTDNA, but for people who tested at other companies, I can check to see how closely you match FTDNA test results if you email me privately.

For people who have tested the full mtDNA genome (aka FMS, FGS "Mega") please consider joining the mtDNA project and please also consider setting permission for the project admins to see the coding region results so that we can correctly place you in the U phylogenetic tree.

A v3 23andMe full genome data was transferred to FTDNA, but as I understand it, only atDNA (Autosomal) is saved and calculated by FTDNA? So this data can not partecipate to a mtDNA-Project?We have one U5b1b1 sample in our DNA-project (see here for mthap-Results). If you think it is useful I can arrange for a e-mail-transfer of the v3 23andMe mtDNA raw data; please send me PM.

Probably not - it is difficult to include the 23andMe results because they do not test a large portion of the genome. I can check for people to see if any of their "extra" mutations indicate a close match with FTDNA project members, but in this case the extra mutation at 16263 seems to be unique for U5b1b.
